Overview
 1.1 DEFINITION

Style Guide

The Style Guide provides a comprehensive foundation of graphic standards for proper presentation
of the City of San Diego’s visual identity. Use of the Style Guide improves communication by ensuring
consistency within an organization and enforces best practices by guiding designs to a quickly
recognizable professional outcome.

The Style Guide is derived from two key elements: the color palette and the City logo. Together they
provide a unifying theme and position the City as One San Diego, speaking with one, unified voice.

Development of the style guide is grounded in extensive research and testing. Focus groups, user
interviews and online surveys captured participant’s ideas and opinions. Key decisions regarding
content and logo were based on feedback from the public.

The City can push its identity into exciting new areas. However, the identity can only make a
positive impact if it is used consistently and correctly.

Values
 2.1 DESIGN VALUES

Design values serve as an outline to follow during the design of a project.

Key questions to ask:

• What is the intent of the document?

• Will users understand its intent or take intended action?

• Is this the correct approach for the project?

Guidelines to follow:

1 Simple
• Simple visuals are easier to consume, process and remember
• Everything should be visually clear

2 Accessible
• Always design within the context of your audience. No one should feel left out
• Everyone should have the resources they need to become a contributor

3 Consistent
• Consistent visual languages build trust
• Visual repetition lowers the barrier to entry for communicating information

4 Contrasted
• Create a clear hierarchy of information using strong contrast.
Things should have differing size, shape and color depending on importance
• Lead the user on the intended path you want them to take—make it overly-obvious

7 The City of San Diego | Style Guide | Values

 2.2 COMMUNITY

Community engagement throughout the city reinforced the need to adhere to the values
San Diegans say matter the most.

1 Togetherness
San Diego values community and takes pride in its neighborhoods and military.

2 Diversity
San Diego values the diversity of its citizens (and their cultures) and our landscapes.

3 Adventures
San Diego values outdoor living, the communities that come with it.

4 Singular Geography
San Diego’s geography keeps us outside and enables an active lifestyle.

The City Seal
 3.1 ANATOMY AND ORIGINS

The official seal of the City of San Diego was adopted by the City Council on April 14, 1914.

A. The pillars of Hercules are used as supporters to recall the ancient territorial jurisdiction of Spain.

B. The winged wheel represents manufacturing and transportation.

C. The two connected dolphins symbolize the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, inseparably united by the
Panama Canal.

D. The motto, “Semper Vigilans,” means “ever vigilant”.

E. The orange tree represents agriculture.

F. The Spanish caravel represents the exploration and settlement by the Spanish.

G. The blue wavy band below it represents the city’s position on the sea.

H. The mission, or carmelite belfry, suggests early settlement by the mission fathers.

B E

10 The City of San Diego | Style Guide | The City Seal

 3.2 SIZING AND GEOMETRY

In order to maintain the integrity of the seal, the minimum diameter size should be .75 inches
for print or 116 pixels for digital applications.

The clearspace for the seal should always be a minimum of 25% of the overall height—as shown here.

For more information on clearspace, see page 16.

 3.3 CITY SEAL USAGE

• The City seal was designed by Carlton Monroe Winslow and was originally used to legitimize
or validate documents.
• With the advent of the City logo, the City seal will return to its elevated status and be reserved
for use on official documents only.
• The seal can be used on reports to council or committee, official memos, letters, certificates
and proclamations.
• The City seal cannot be used in conjunction with the City logo.

Logos
 4.1 INTRODUCTION

Logo Background

The logo is at the core of the City’s values. The “O” represents a central point of origin, a rally point
for all residents to share in common.

The “Sails” wrapping around the “O” symbolize the geography and amenities that only San Diego
can offer the community.

This style guide introduces all approved City of San Diego logo versions and demonstrates the rules for
both print and digital use. Always use the logos in accordance with these guidelines.

The design language in this document is the primary tool for the City of San Diego to communicate.
The face of this communication is the logo. The primary logo, shown here, has a family of alternates
to be used for specific purposes. With this family, San Diego can communicate consistently across
different media and size requirements.

14 The City of San Diego | Style Guide | Logos

 4.2 PRIMARY LOGO ANATOMY

When working with the logo, it’s important to know the correct terminology. The logo is composed of
three parts; the sails, the preface, and the logotype. When all these elements combine—we have
the complete logo.

Preface

For the Preface, “The City” is set in Merriweather Bold, with “of ” being Merriweather Bold Italicized.

Logotype

The logotype is set in Sifonn Basic.

Note: Learn more about typography on page 24.

 4.3 CLEARSPACE

Clearspace
Working with the logos requires
consistent clearspace. Clearspace
is the “blank” space ( X ) around
the entire logo that is free of text
and other graphics. The clearspace
has been set according to specific
dimensions of the different logo
components. 1x is the minimum
amount of clearspace needed.

Spacing
Spacing of the primary logo
elements should never change.

Units
The method for spacing is measured
in relative “x” units. One “x” can be
determined from the height of the
letter “D” in the logotype.

Electronic files of the City logo in different formats are available

for download at www.sandiego.gov/communications/design

16 The City of San Diego | Style Guide | Logos

 4.4 LOGO VARIATIONS AND USAGE

Variations of the primary logo can be used for communicating across different size and media
requirements. The content and size should define what type of layout to use.

Primary
This horizontal alternate
works well when the logo is
not meant to be the focus
of the design, but rather an
element of authentication. Large
Spaces

Alternate Stacked
This alternate stacked logo
is available for use when
the design space is vertical.

Short
Spaces

Alternate Initials
This alternate initials is
perfect for small and/or
digital applications. For
example, on a mobile device
when the alternate stacked Short
may be scaled too small to Tall

maintain legibility.

Note:
The color and reverse variations can be applied to the alternate logos.

17 The City of San Diego | Style Guide | Logos

 4.5 COLOR VARIATIONS

Full Color Full Color

The full-color logo should be
used as much as possible
across digital and printed
materials. The reversed option
(next page) should also be used
whenever possible.

Four Color
Four Color
The four-color logo removes
gradients from the sails of
the logo.

Two Color Two Color

The two-color logo uses the
black and blue colors from
the palette.

One Color
A single-color can be used for
any of the logo alternates One Color
when considering printing
costs. For example, printing
a T-shirt design.

Black and White

This option is to be used
Black & White
for low fidelity printing.
For example, drafts, faxes
or receipts.

 4.7 INCORRECT USAGE

Don’t change spacing Don’t change kerning Don’t resize the symbol

Don’t change type Don’t change colors Don’t reposition

Don’t stretch Don’t resize the type Don’t cover up

 6.4 COLOR PAIRINGS

The primary palette can be broken into pairings to best meet the needs of a design. As a general rule,
start with the dominant color that best matches the tone of the main image in a design. For example,
if a photo has primarily cool tones, start with Palette 1.

These pairings are comprised of a dominant analogous set with a single complimentary color from
the primary palette. This compliment art color is used among the set to highlight or distinguish elements
within a design.

These pairings represent the only approved color palettes. New palettes should not be created.

Palette 1 - Sea Palette 2 - Summer Palette 3 - Sunset

Palette 4 - Sunrise Palette 5 - Classic Palette 6 - Urban

 8.1 CHARTS AND GRAPHS

Simplicity is key to data communication. These examples are characterized by simple lines, colors
and shapes. Do not add flourishes beyond necessity. For larger number displays use the
Merriweather typeface found on page 24.

Pie Chart
Principles
Pie charts should always be accompanied with a key
1. Aways maintain high contrast
for low light screens and
the visually impaired.

2. Whenever possible alternate

between warm and cool colors.
This will ensure maximum legibility.
See the color palette on page
27 and 28.

3. Be bold. Use thick shapes and lines.
